Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My students are incredible! I have 24 motivated English Language Learners who are eager to learn. My students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds with limited resources available to them. We are a Title I Performance Improvement school with a 100% free lunch program. Many parents work two jobs and are struggling to support their families.
Though their environment may not be conducive to learning, my students have an insatiable love of learning.
I know that if we provide them with the right support, resources, and opportunities, they can experience success.
My Project
My students were inspired and came up with a great idea to get fit on the playground. They wanted new balls to learn the game of basketball. The balls will be used to keep them active and running. They will keep their heart rate pumping by dribbling, kicking, and making baskets with these balls. We don't have any grass so they will need the knee pads for protection. The pinnies are needed so the children can see who their teammates are easily.
Learning basketball at a young age not only helps encourage exercise, but serves as a foundation for staying active later in life.
The children will learn to play as a team in addition to learning basic fundamental skills. It's a slam dunk when it comes to basketball!
